THE Commissioner of Patents has
rendered a very wise decision in the
case of an application for a trade
mark for whisky bearing the TX. of L.
Brand The commissioner Justly holds
that such trade mark would tend to
deceive workmen, by conveying the
impression that the goods covered by
it were manufactured under the aus
pices of the knights of Labor. 1t is
essential that any business label pro
tected by government registry should
be strictly truthful Otherwise the ma
tional authority would be used to in
dorse false pretense,

CARSON, NEVADA, APPEAL says:
The last earthquake should have
opened the eyes of the people of this
state. In scores of places water has
burst out of the earthquake assures
and began to naturally irrigate the
land. In the Como range water is
pouring out of hill two hundred feet
above the plain. In Humboldt county
scores of springs have been rocked in
to life by the way of the earthquake.
Hundreds of springs in Nevada have
doubled in flow. All this means that
vast water bed underlies the geolo-
gical formation of this state.
Now, that's another good reason in
favor of anti-annexation. Who on Gods
green earth, wants to be tied to an
earthquake Who wants to be shaken
out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing, find his dining room and kitchen
converted into an artesian well irriga-
ting the baby and cradle? We might
stand Nebraska and Kansas cyclones,
Dakota and Montana billiards., Wash
ington and 0regon's rainy seasons
but we beg to draw line of objection
at the earthquake business.

THERE is an undertaker's clerk in
Atlanta, Ga, who has a queer idea of
fun. 1t has been his custom to dress
himself in shroud, lie down in an
empty coffin, and have confederate
get some unsuspecting citizens to
come and move him out And then,
as the coffin was being solemnly car
ried out, he would jump out of the
coffin, yell like a Comanche Indian,
and laugh with delight at the terror
of the carriers. But the other day
some victims who didn't see where
the fun came in had him arrested,
and he was fined. He is now trying

SAM LEIGH, wagon master and agent

Bayhorse, has holy horror of snake
or anything that crawls. But with all
his antipathy to the reptiles he has
had them in his boots. This announce

but it is, nevertheless, true. Sam had

some days. expecting to meet his Sun
day girl, but the torments he under
went became unbearable and he repair
ed to camp, got the boots off after a
struggle and breathed freezer than he
had for week. He had an old pair of
boots lying about the camp which for
better comfort he had the instep cut
open, and fishing the foot gear out
from his blankets proceeded to draw
them on. He never finished the lob.
Picking up one boot he had it half
drawn on, when he experienced a pc
culiar sensation and to his terror dis
covered little water snake wriggling
its way out from the leg. Sam gave
one whoop and made break for the
tall timber to the establishment of all
who saw him, who imagined that the
wild man from Camas Prairie had
broken loose. He finally got back to
camp but nothing could induce him to
put on that boot. The little water
snake died of fright.-Keystone.

The Jansenites Of judaism.

The Slavonic novelist, NJ. Sacher-
Masoch, has recently given IN interesting
lecture to a Paris.audiencc on the Jewish
sects in Galicia, in the course of which he
described the karaites, who acknowledge
only the first book Of Moses as their re-
ligiols guide. The knraites, said the
eminent Jewish author, are the Jansen
ties Of Judaism. They base their beliefs
on the love Of the divine; they are virtu-
GUS for virtues sake. Where reason and
revelation agree, they say, we accept them
Us two excellent things, but where they
disagree we must hold with revelation, for
If reason had been sufficient revelations
would have been superfiuous.
The Karaites consider that it is not al
lowed to discuss tho fundamental basis
of revelation. Another of their precepts
is: "1f You cannot do that which you
would like to do you must be willing to
do what you CAM The life Of the Kara
ties is very virtuous; they pray in He
brew, with bent heads. In the east they
never light fire, and in Galicia, where
the climate is more rigorous, they let
Christians light it for them. The sect
numbers about 40, 600 in Ealicia. One Pc
cuiarity by which they are distinguished
from all other Jews Is that they consider
that commerce in goods which they them
selves have not produced to he illicit, for
which reason they are nearly all agricul-
turists or stewards. Until lately they
were exempt from military service. but at
present they are employed in the anbu-
lances. NJ. Sachcr- -MAsoch states ON the
